8 killed in Iraqi jailbreak attempt

The prisoner fired indiscriminately after grabbing an AK-47, killing four guards and four inmates, said Iraqi army Brig. Gen. Jalil al-Mehamadawi. The Interior Ministry said one guard and three prisoners were wounded.

The U.S. military's account was slightly different. A statement by Sgt. Keith Robinson said "it was reported that 16 prisoners attempted to escape the facility after first storming the armory and obtaining an undetermined number of weapons."

Robinson said in addition to the eight deaths that one U.S. soldier and five prisoners were injured.
It will be interesting to see how long it takes for the great minds of wingnuttery to blame this tragedy on "the liberals."
